Thanks a bunch Chief I thought that was crazy firm linked to steam to get me to buy stuff. Always cautious LOLI will try that tonight I hope the curser won't float all over the place it did that when I tried to play offline.I will let you know the outcomeRegardsMaggsie

Hi couldn't wait till tonight did what you said and Yeah!!!!!! I was in. Now another problem curser is floating all over the place eventually got the two small doors open, now facing a cracked wall I cant break. Its taking me a while to search for something to break it with the curser floating, about any ideasMaggsie

Make sure your video card is adequate to play the game. If it's low end, try turning down or turning off graphics enhancements in the game's menu (like shadows, glow, animations, antialiasing, filtering, or whatever else you see there)

Now you've all got me thinking about the flashing in the game. If I went from one room to the other or to the other floor the flashing drove me nuts. I had to click on the wall several times and it stopped. Is it supposed to do that?

No it's not supposed to do that. There are several YouTube videos you can check to see how the game is supposed to look. The problem may be due to a slight incompatibility with your video drivers. Newer or older drivers than the ones you're using might work better, though it depends on what card you have.

The Geforce 310m should be better than the Geforce 6600 that Draclvr mentioned according to this benchmarking site:

But I'm not sure what the 2234MR means. If the card uses mostly shared memory, that could be why it's slow (and making your cursor "float"). Try turning down or turning off graphics enhancements in the game's menu (like shadows, glow, animations, antialiasing, filtering, or whatever else you see there).

Thanks Jenny100 I will try and switch any extra stuff to see if that works. I have had so much bother with this game I am ready to throw it out the window and I live on the 23rd floor.This is the last game I get that has Steam attached to it.Thanks for all your helpMaggsie

One person said it has to do with the Unity game engine and that "reducing the quality" might help. I guess this means turning down graphics options. Another person said he got rid of the flashing by reducing resolution.
